Hi Mark, I'm not sure I follow you but perhaps my cloning need was different than other folks but I don't think it was ... As an experiment, I did the following: o Shutdown the W7 VM, ensuring there were no snapshots. o Using `cp' (far faster than using the Virtualbox method as I could copy to a second disk), I copied the .vdi o I set the .vdi's UUID o Using the VBox GUI, I created a new VM and plugged in the freshly minted .VDI. o Booted the new .VDI and changed its host name. I can't recall if I did anything more but the above covers the gist of what I did. It's been a looooong time ago since I've done the above though ...
